Face Plant
In my web wanderings I come across some pretty interesting items, but this one I felt I must pass on!! It seems that Dainese and AGV have launched what they are calling the MyFace Project. The project allows motorcycle racing fans to make his or her own helmet unique by personalizing it with a photo…

What is art??
Funny, being an artist myself I never thought much about the crossover between my two passions, art and motorcycles, but suddenly I find myself in contemplation. A friend of mine sent me a link to a woman rider who is also an artist by trade. She is a painter. Her latest venture into the art…

Confessions of a solo female rider…
Today my husband asked if I wanted to go for a ride up into the Sierra foothills traveling over some of the most fun of our local roads and my knee-jerk reaction was why not? But the more I pondered the route, the roads, the ride, the less interested I became and before I knew…
